Introduction
At this moment, my biological parents found me and rescued me from hell. I had originally thought they were very poor, but the reality left me utterly astonished!
My biological parents turned out to be billionaires, and they doted on me immensely. I became a princess with a fortune worth billions. Not only that, but there was also a handsome and wealthy CEO who was madly pursuing me.
Chapter 1
Serenitia City, The Smith Mansion, second floor.
Clara Smith put on a simple white princess gown and pulled out her compact to admire her lovely reflection.
She tightened her grip on her handkerchief, jaw clenched as she stared at Catherine—the girl she had despised since childhood—and said:
"I'm the real daughter of the Smith family. You're just a fake!"
During last month’s comprehensive medical exam, the Smith family found out that Catherine was not a match for either Oliver Smith or Celeste Brown.
Clara raised the maternity test report she shared with Celeste, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
She had grown up alongside Catherine—so why was she merely the nanny’s daughter while Catherine enjoyed the status of the esteemed Smith family heiress?
Now everything had returned to its rightful place. At last, it was all hers!
Behind Clara, Oliver and Celeste were looking at Catherine.
When Celeste noticed Catherine watching her, she lifted a hand to brush away tears that didn’t exist.
"Catherine, none of us ever imagined Clara was our biological daughter. We can’t bear to lose you, but we have to send you back. I can’t bear the thought of keeping you from your true parents—it would be far too cruel.”
Oliver actually thought it was fine to raise two daughters.
But Celeste pointed out that Catherine had bullied Clara during their childhood, and it wouldn’t be fair to Clara for them to continue living together.
As for Catherine, the moment Oliver spread the word, he received a call from Tranquil County about their missing child.
That accent on the phone was really thick!
Oliver could barely understand what they were saying.
Tranquil County—that was the middle of nowhere, where most residents earned a living through farming!
"Catherine, don’t worry. It’s perfectly okay that your parents are farmers. When I spoke on the phone, I heard chickens clucking in the background, so at least when you’re hungry, you’ll have roasted chicken to eat."
Clara couldn’t stop herself from laughing out loud.
What a poor place!
They even raise chickens!
“Dad, you don’t understand those poor areas—chickens are worth more than people there. How could they possibly eat them whenever they want?”
Clara’s expression radiated superiority.
Catherine had seen right through them a long time ago.
They called it a family medical checkup, but wasn’t it really because Catherine had come of age and the engagement with the Johnsons needed to proceed?
The Johnsons were eager to arrange the engagement, and someone grew impatient, wanting Catherine out of the Smith household to make room for their true daughter, who had been raised under the nanny’s name.
Catherine regarded them with contempt and disdain, speaking with complete detachment.
“I was leaving anyway. No need for this charade. Before I go, return my computer.”
Her expression was serene, her eyes radiant, and every gesture exuded a graceful nobility that Clara could never replicate.
How annoying! What's she showing off for!
“Catherine, your computer is five years old. I wouldn’t even want it. Did you misplace it by mistake?”
The nanny, cook, and driver behind them all chimed in with complaints.
“That’s right. Only someone as petty as Catherine would consider a five-year-old computer valuable.”
“Exactly. Catherine’s heading back to the countryside—they probably don’t even know what a computer is there.”
Clara’s face was brimming with smugness.
Catherine met her gaze calmly, took out her phone, tapped it lightly, and instantly displayed a clear surveillance video.
The footage clearly showed Clara sneaking into Catherine’s room last night, unnoticed, and taking her computer.
In the video, Clara clutched the computer, her face twisted in a scowl.
“Why does Grandma treat only you well? I’m the true Smith family daughter!”
Clara had nothing to say.
Was Catherine crazy? She actually installed surveillance in her own room!
And she caught Clara cursing out her grandmother Elodie Smith.
Celeste quickly shielded Clara behind her, as if Catherine were about to devour her.
“Catherine, you’re being so inconsiderate. This is your home too—how can you install surveillance here? We have plenty of business secrets—what if they accidentally get exposed!”
Hearing Celeste put it that way, Oliver’s expression turned serious.
“Catherine, hand me your phone. I want to see if you’ve set up surveillance anywhere else.”
Catherine was speechless.
She really had no interest in the Smith family's little business.
Right before Oliver, Catherine wiped all the files from her phone and restored it to factory settings.
Oliver felt slightly awkward and chuckled, saying, “I’m not doubting you.”
Catherine said coldly, “Mind your words. You’re no longer my father. Return my computer, and I’ll leave immediately.”
Oliver forced an embarrassed smile and turned to Clara, signaling her to retrieve Catherine’s computer.
Clara muttered, “You won’t even part with this old thing. Tranquil County probably doesn’t even have internet.”
This broken computer wouldn’t even power on, yet Catherine, about to face a difficult life, treated it like a priceless treasure.
Catherine shot her a cool, detached glance.
This computer had been a gift from Elodie, and she had modified it herself later. While it was valuable, it wasn’t something she couldn’t part with.
She could rebuild the computer, and she could easily do without these so-called family members!
It's just that this thing had a different meaning to her.
In the entire Smith family, from top to bottom, everyone favored Clara. Only Elodie had loved her since childhood, giving her a warmth she cherished for life.
But with Elodie’s recent passing, the Smith family had become even less significant to her.
Catherine turned and walked toward the front door, showing no hint of hesitation.
Celeste, who had been ready to say something heartfelt, suddenly felt very embarrassed.
“What kind of attitude is that? Your elders are speaking to you kindly, and you’re making faces. You two grew up together, but your personalities and character are completely different!”
From Oliver, Celeste also discovered that Catherine’s biological parents weren’t faring very well.
She learned that the family was extremely poor, living in one of the country’s most backward, poverty-stricken mountain regions, where the village didn’t even have a proper road.
Catherine’s parents were farmers, she had older siblings at home, and her grandparents were also in poor health.
Going to such a poor and backward family, Catherine definitely wouldn't have a good life.
She'd probably have to support the family at a young age, working like a slave!
Clara’s years of feeling inferior under Catherine’s shadow had transformed into bold confidence. She stood and followed Catherine: “Catherine, I’ll see you out.”
Oliver looked at Celeste with some disapproval.
"Say less. Catherine took care of you and Mom when you were sick before."
Celeste glared at him.
"Took care of us? We provided her with good food and drink—she should mind her own status. I’m just worried she might envy Clara’s marriage. The engagement with the Johnsons should only belong to our true daughter!"
Lucas was engaged to the Smith family, so naturally the match should go to the family’s real daughter—not Catherine, the fake daughter who had hijacked their place!
Besides, Clara had known Lucas since childhood, so their bond was naturally very strong.
Compared to Catherine, Clara, the real daughter, was genuinely thoughtful and considerate. With this opportunity, Clara's true identity was finally recognized, lifting Celeste’s spirits significantly.
Thinking about her own marriage, Clara also played up to them, clutching her handkerchief with a pleased smile.
Clara had loved competing since childhood, particularly taking pleasure in seizing Catherine’s belongings.
From small things like jewelry, food, and clothes, to big things like Oliver and Celeste's affection.
Because she didn’t care, Catherine never took it to heart. She simply thought that Clara had been stealing the spotlight since childhood, and the Smith family just couldn’t see people for who they really were.
As for Lucas Johnson, if Clara hadn’t brought him up, Catherine would have almost forgotten he even existed.
"Clara, you really want every man, don't you."

She genuinely took in Regina, the butler's daughter, only to be constantly manipulated by this cunning and manipulative woman.
Regina gradually stole the love from her three brothers.
Arabella was forced to give Regina blood transfusions time and again, her weight plummeting to a mere eighty-eight pounds.
Ultimately, under the relentless pressure from her brothers, she jumped out of a window in despair and died. Her last words were,
"What about Regina's blood transfusions?"
When she opened her eyes again, Arabella found herself reborn three years earlier—the very day Regina appeared at her doorstep crying, begging for help.
Looking at the pitiful, tearful girl before her, Arabella smiled.
No more soft-heartedness.
No more groveling.
Instead, she "kindly" arranged for Regina to move into the servants' quarters, to earn her own living through honest labor.
Faced with her brothers who sided with her, she no longer bothered to please them.
And towards her former fiancé, Theodore, whom she had once fawned over, she remained cold, distant, and indifferent.
Moreover, in this life, they would discover that her identity was far more than just the eldest daughter of the Oberon family.

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.

Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
A PRINCESS IN DISGUISE; BOUND TO THE ENEMY KING
I fell to my knees, the cold marble digging into my skin. I had studied for years in the flickering candlelight, memorizing every herb and poison to pass the healer's exam. I wanted freedom. I wanted to save my mother from the servant's quarters. I placed second. I thought I had won my life back.
But the King didn't give me a badge of honor. He gave me a death sentence.
"Raven Thorne shall be wed to the King of Grok," he announced, his voice echoing in the silent hall. Princess Ellie, the woman who had tormented me for years, slapped her hands over her mouth to hide her cruel laughter. She was supposed to marry the Beast. Now, I was the lamb being sent to the slaughter in her place.
They say King Liam drinks the blood of his enemies. They say he is more monster than man. And now, I have to walk into his bedroom, wearing the Princess's silk gown, and pray he doesn't tear me apart.
I looked at the King, tears streaming down my face. "I'll do it," I whispered, my voice trembling. "But my mother must be safe."
I sold my body and soul to a monster to save her. But when the carriage door opened and I finally looked into the Beast's golden eyes, I realized the terrifying truth...
He wasn't a stranger. He was the man I met in the woods.

.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
